Your Destiny character progress will be reset for Destiny 2, Bungie has confirmed.

UPDATE 3.15pm: Back to GAME's issues now - and a spokesperson for the company has told Eurogamer that all orders will apparently be delivered by midday tomorrow.

Yoko Taro is a strange and brilliant man.

Overwatch public enemy number one, Bastion, was changed on Tuesday this week. The robot was supposed to become less of a glass cannon, losing some ranged accuracy and therefore damage in exchange for manoeuvrability and survivability. But now people are having a hard time killing Bastion at all.

There's a story in Overwatch. It isn't rammed in your face, it doesn't get in the way of the action, but it is there. I didn't know much at all about it after 20 hours or so of playing but now I do, I wanted to share it with you, because knowing a bit more about adds a certain je ne sais quoi. It's cool, all right?

It's finally here! After what seems like an eternity, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has been released into the, erm, wild. Think about it, at this very moment Nintendo fans the world over will be excitedly tearing into the packaging of their new Switch console, Zelda cart in hand, ready to begin an epic adventure.

For Honor has been out a few weeks, and most who get on with it agree the core combat is brilliant. I certainly think so.

UPDATE 3rd March: It has happened. We are at the end of the week and a new Overwatch hero, Orisa, has been revealed and released on the Public Test Realm (where we've played her/it). Bish bash bosh done. No ARG fanfare this time.

Last month, Nintendo announced Zelda: Breath of the Wild's expansion pass - and with it, an exclusive in-game Switch T-shirt.

It's Nintendo Switch launch day and Nintendo has finally decided to share information on some of the burning questions we had on transferring digital games and save files.

UPDATE: It's Switch launch day, and Nintendo's eShop is live with a total of 18 games to download. Here's the full rundown, with prices:

Poor Team Eurogamer. We'd all just packed off down the pub to celebrate a well-fought Breath of the Wild embargo day, ready to smash some lovely beers, when Jeff Kaplan had the absolute gall to choose that precise moment to launch the new tank hero on the Overwatch PTR. We were not best pleased, let me tell you.

Weep for Doris. That's the name of my faithful steed (though not my first) in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - which is a bit good, by the way. Doris doesn't have the best stats but she has a sweet temperament and bonded with me perfectly at first sight, a gesture of trust I have now unforgivably broken by forsaking her for another.

Console launches are a confusing time. Rumours can spread, and without widespread access to the hardware it can be difficult to tell fact from fiction.

From 'felatio is implied' to removing 'future blouses', the majority of headlines you'll read about the ESRB on Eurogamer are in reference to the incredible synopses it has published to justify video game age ratings over the years.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was originally prototyped as a 2D-style game.

UPDATE 2/3/17 4:00pm: The Nintendo Switch's day one system update has launched, and there are reports online that installing the patch with the Joy-Cons attached updates the firmware on the controllers, resolving the de-sync issues. Is this really the case? Unfortunately not. We've updated our console with controllers attached and re-run the battery of tests detailed below. In all cases, the range and consistency of the connection of each Joy-Con remains the same, and the left controller still has demonstrably weaker range than the right. Eurogamer has contacted Nintendo several times now concerning this issue, and we still await a reply.

Much has been made of Nintendo Switch's region-free status. But how easy is it to buy a game from its Japanese eShop?

Video games have cast me as a dapper hitman, an alien garbage collector, a chinless vampire and countless other roles, but this is the first time I've been asked to play a mess. Infinite Fall's bleak yet sparkling interactive novel is the tale of Mae Borowski, a feline college drop-out in an allegorical America populated by talking animals, who is crashing with her parents for the winter. The fact that she's a cat who plays bass aside, Mae's most distinctive quality as a protagonist is that she's a total liability - lazy, needy and far younger than her twenty years suggest, with a miraculous knack for saying the wrong thing at exactly the wrong time.

In hopeful pitches delivered to panels of drab-suited, stern-mouthed men, game-makers will refer to their games as being 'platform agnostic'. It's a way to make a game more attractive to publishers; the fewer features unique to a particular console a game utilises, the farther it can travel and the greater the potential audience. This commercial incentive has flattened video game design in a sense. Most game-makers want the technology on which a video game is built to be as invisible as paper is to books.

Here's an unusual admission for a reviewer to make. I haven't finished The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I've yet to uncover swathes of its vast map. Much remains for me to do and discover, and my game is still rife with rumour, mystery and surprise. This is partly because my life is no longer compatible with monstering a giant open-world game in a week, even when it's work. But it's also because of the kind of game that Breath of the Wild is.

The year is 2017, and Nintendo Switch features the return of friend codes - 12 digit numbers which let others add you as a friend.

Two days ago a shadow was cast over The Division's future when Swedish developer Massive Entertainment, and owner Ubisoft, announced a blockbuster collaboration with Hollywood filmmaker James Cameron based around Avatar.

Oculus has announced a price cut for its Rift and Touch controller bundle, as well as the Touch controller itself.

BioWare has abandoned plans for a Mass Effect Andromeda multiplayer beta.

It's no secret that Zelda: Breath of the Wild is now... out in the wild. In fact, people have been playing early copies - and cracked versions - for several days.

Breath of the Wild is so close I can almost taste it. Actually, scrub that, I can taste it - turns out the next chapter in the Legend of Zelda franchise is pretty big on cooking, so I did the only logical thing and whipped up a dish from the game.

Yandere Simulator, the controversial anime stealth game about stalking a classmate whom you have a crush on, now has a publisher.

Night Dive Studios has released a video showing an early look at the System Shock reboot.

This isn't going to be a particularly fashionable opinion around these parts given the animosity many still hold for Konami, but I quite like Super Bomberman R.
